I'm with lancsmatt on this one. You would be right if the injury had been in normal time but that was over. There were 4 mins added and 3 and a half played so there would only be 30 secs left even if the stoppage for the keeper had lasted 20 minutes.
In your scenario if we are a goal down and only 30 secs injury time left then we could gain more time by going down injured. A great tactic if we could get away with it
